Title: Harold Dobson 1939 help please
Post by: Nicky on Friday 30 January 26 15:49 GMT (UK)
Harold Dobson born 3 July 1901, pretty sure that's right. Born Yedingham.
Married Edith Sigsworth on 22 August 1931. Edith was born 2 May 1906.
 They had a son Noel G Dobson Dec 1932.
Have searched every combination that I can think of and cannot find them in 1939.
Any help would be much appreciated
Nicky

She was Edith May Sigsworth - there is this possible death - unless you know she died after 1939??

Deaths Jun 1938   
DOBSON    Edith M    34    Bradford    9b   172

Ignore - the death was Edith Mary Dobson

In 1921 Harold Dobson was a wireless operator.
A Harry Dobson and Edith M Dobson were traveling to Abadan, Iran around ww2 era connected with the oil industry. Perhaps they were out of the UK for the 1939 Register.

Passenger list for 1937 to Abadan shows Edith Dobson & 2 children "joining husband".  Address is shown as Bournemouth & birth of the youngest child does not have mmn as Sigsworth

Harry Dobson & Edith Wyatt m 1932 Southampton

Try Orbson on FindMyPast Harold & Edith M both have the dates of birth you have quoted

 also Annie E Segsworth  :-\

Brilliant find Rosie99!

If you have A**y not FindMyPast you can find them by looking for Annie E Sigsworth, 1918 in York. There is something odd about the transcription, and the Dobsons seem to have been missed.

Oh! just noticed Rosie99 has mentioned Annie too (was this added or did I completely overlook it?)
